REMAX11: Wrong target mate, you're speaking to somebody who's uploaded the updates onto EFBs for several years, and helped derive a way to modify the factory pdf's before FCOMs become data driven. I wrote OEM Airbus in that first post for a reason.
As for the rest of your post, I look at it and my brain pulls the image of captain's face changing one deep winter night 2003, as the redcap screamed through the headset under attack by the nosewheel. The PTT used to obtain the taxi clearance has my fingerprints on it. Until today I do not know what we'd done differently or wrongly.
Thus later I had easily adhered to company SOPs to do C/L only after the wave off, and today happily do the same because my employer is reasonably smart not to change the Airbus OEM book too much. For that very same reason I do make F/CTL checks during taxi and personal stats for SE taxi stands at 92% in, 0,05 out this season.
Feel free to shoot the second round.
Basil: You seem to support his stance and think it matters then? Count me in.
